On social media parents are outraged and are commenting they want the United States to respond MILITARILY. They're unironically calling for Hegseth to authorize military action against ShinyHunters and DRONE STRIKE them. Holy cow

I can assert with a high degree of confidence ShinyHunters did not exfiltrate highly sensitive information.

Based on information I've received the primary information stolen from the schools is student names and email addresses. Furthermore, this has been confirmed by various media outlets.

This in of itself isn't bad.

The primary issue with this however is that it would expose children in K-12 online (first and last name). Adults having their full legal name and email address online is something you could (probably) find on LinkedIn or a university directory. Adults will be ignored if data is leaked. K-12 will be a nightmare. Hence, educational institutions must put together a strategy to handle a K-12 potential data leak.

Presumably parents will be outraged and this will inevitably result in a lawsuit against the schools or Canvas.

The much larger issue however is the catastrophic damage ShinyHunters has done to Canvas both operational and reputational.

Exfiltrating data from a compromised host is as simple as initializing a file transfer. The question then: why is Canvas still "in maintenance mode"? The only logical conclusion is ShinyHunters did SOMETHING to prevent Canvas from working as intended.

This places Canvas is a terrible, terrible, terrible position. Their service has resulted in minors having their names (potentially) leaked and educational institutions can't use the platform they pay for. Furthermore, this makes major educational institutions look like a bunch of morons.

Students are paying top dollar for an education and suddenly ... poof ... a good chunk of their work or study material has vaporized because it was stored in a 3rd party platform outside the control of the educational institution.

Basically, the data breach itself isn't bad except the K-12 part. The operational impact is devastating and the fallout will be a nightmare. Canvas employees are probably scrambling, their cybersecurity team is probably having panic attacks, and executive leadership is probably drunk right now screaming at the wall.

ShinyHunters compromised Canvas (to a currently unknown extent) which resulted in a "this system has been compromised" to over 9,000 universities. As ridiculous as that sounds, I'm not memeing. It has been speculated it is actually over 9,000 universities.…

ShinyHunters has successfully hit the big leagues.

ShinyHunters successfully disrupting exams, schooling, grading, government funded research projects, dissertation work, graduations, financial aid, financial loss, potentially immigration complications, and more, has elevated this from "a silly shenanigan" to "major national security incident" and being labeled as an attack on United States critical infrastructure.

If I had to guess, the FBI, NSA, CIA, DIA, CISA, ICE, and DOE are all involved due to the disruption of this.

This isn't the largest extortion campaign I've seen, but this is definitely in the top ten. This is what the kids call a "Certified Hood Classic".

Documentation says to use DwmGetWindowAttribute in dwmapi.dll but really just uses GetWindowCompositionAttribute in user32.dll and forwards to win32u.dll for syscall

DwmGetWindowAttribute works on Vista... but its forward to GetWindowCompositionAttribute needs at minimum windows 7...

Hello everyone,

I see your DMs and stuff. I'm sorry I haven't replied.

I've been experiencing a deep burn out. I have been struggling to juggle vx-underground, a 1 year old, and work. I under estimated the cognitive load a 1 year old would require, it is significantly more challenging than I initially anticipated.

I am behind on basically everything. I am struggling to keep my head above water. I don't possess the energy to do much.

Also, I've seen some people be like, "pffft, you THINK ONE KID IS HARD? Trying having N!".

Okay pal, it's not a contest. I get it, you're cool and badass and I'm soft blooded. I'm trying my best.

Anyway, sorry for all the slow stuff. I'll bounce back eventually, as I always have.

Love you
- smelly

I am so incredibly tired of hearing about AI

Everytime I look up anything cybersecurity related it's all a big ass fuck off circus discussing AI

It's not even like, an explanation on AI, or some sort of deep dive, or nuanced perspective. It's all superficial and more akin to a sales pitch than an actual discussion topic.

O gracious Lord, if Thou hearest me, pray let this great uproar be stilled.

I'm a big fan of old ass shit discussing religion. I'm an Atheist, but I respect the impact religion has brought to this planet and how it's shaped our culture.

I've been reading and researching the Divine Comedy (Dante's Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradiso). I initially began reading the original text (closest possible English translation) but it was really, really, really challenging. I didn't know what the fuck bro was yapping about.

Part of the issue is weird grammatical structure and archaic vocabulary, but also the pop-culture references from the year 1321 (release date, but technically was written much earlier, whatever).

I decided then to find a book that has "updated" verbage and a break down of what's actually being discussed. I ended up settling on "The Inferno" by John Ciardi

Ciardi and others spent years translating the original poem. He and his colleagues traveled to Italy and met with Italian historians and academics to break down the text further to really emphasize the "pop-culture" references and demystify what Dante Alighieri was yapping about.

As I was trying to find a book to read on it, I found dozens of AI slop "books" on The Divine Comedy. The introduction unironically contains shit like, "Why The Divine Comedy Matters" and uses arrows to break down segments.

AI slop in a book for sale makes me physically sick to my stomach. John Ciardi and others spent years of their lives working to convey the literature masterpiece the Divine Comedy is, and some fuckin schmuck tries to AI slop it and sell it on Amazon.

I hate it so much it's unreal

Nerds on social media going spazzo saying people had unauthorized access to Claude Mythos.

It gave the impression to readers that Anthropic had been compromised, primarily due to lack of details in the posts and the ambiguity of "unauthorized access".

As it turns out, it's a "forum" of users who hunt for unreleased AI models.

The "forum" it turns out is a Discord Server.

I've seen several different proposed theories now on what this means, what unauthorized access means, what data was accessed, ... There is insufficient details.

Regardless, I stand by my (now deleted) post that that using the term "BREAKING" is in poor taste. There is more nuance to this "unauthorized access" and the lack of details allow people on social media to sensationalize it.

tl;dr I guess we'll see what happens, maybe I'll eat my own words and take a fat L
